Correct the record clearly

Corrections Policy

Readers and contributors can report factual errors, outdated regional information, broken links, or wording that gives the wrong impression.

What receives a correction note

A change that alters the reader’s understanding—such as an incorrect legal requirement, salary figure, role description, quotation, or employment condition—should be dated and explained on the affected page. Quietly replacing a material error is not enough.

What may be fixed silently

Spelling, punctuation, formatting, broken navigation, and wording changes that do not alter meaning may be corrected without a public note. The editorial record should still preserve substantial revision history internally.

Time-sensitive pages

Country guides and material involving licensing, visas, employment rights, pay, or regulation should display a verification date. An old statement can become wrong without having been wrong when first published.
